External fonts handling
by Michał Goliński 25 Nov '15

25 Nov '15

Dear list, I have a bunch of fonts in my home directory in the .fonts subdirectory. After an update, I used to run: OSFONTDIR=$HOME/.fonts mtxrun --script fonts --reload so that the font cache is regenerated. This workflow works in TeXLive, but recently fails in beta. For the MWE: \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Minion Pro] \setupbodyfont[mainface, 12pt] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext I get the following error: $ context test.tex resolvers | trees | analyzing 'home:texmf' mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="/home/michal/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en" --jobname="test" --lua="/home/michal/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en.lui" --no-parse-first-line --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname="./test.tex" --c:input="./test.tex" --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=9 "cont-yes.mkiv" This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.85.0 (TeX Live 2016/dev) (rev 5550) system commands enabled. resolvers > trees > analyzing 'home:texmf' system > callbacks > not registering frozen 'find_format_file' open source > 1 > 1 > /home/michal/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-yes.mkiv ConTeXt ver: 2015.11.19 19:13 MKIV beta fmt: 2015.11.25 int: english/english system > 'cont-new.mkiv' loaded open source > 2 > 2 > /home/michal/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv close source > 2 > 2 > /home/michal/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv system > files > jobname 'test', input './test', result 'test' fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language 'en' is active open source > 2 > 3 > /dev/shm/test.tex fonts > preloading modern-designsize (math) fonts > typescripts > unknown library 'modern-designsize' fonts > 'fallback modern-designsize mm 12pt' is loaded fonts > preloading modern-designsize (mono) fonts > 'fallback modern-designsize tt 12pt' is loaded fonts > defining > source file 'MinionPro-Regular.otf' is not found open source > 3 > 4 > /home/michal/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/sample/knuth.tex close source > 3 > 4 > /home/michal/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/sample/knuth.tex backend > xmp > using file '/home/michal/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-pdx.xml' pages > flushing realpage 1, userpage 1 close source > 2 > 4 > /dev/shm/test.tex close source > 1 > 4 > /home/michal/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-yes.mkiv Expected a string for (S), not: nil Expected a string for (S), not: nil !LuaTeX error: cannot find OpenType font file for reading () ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1 But if I run context this way: $ OSFONTDIR=$HOME/.fonts context test.tex everything works. Has font handling changed in some subtle way recently? Best regards Michal

Question on headings and text around them
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 24 Nov '15

24 Nov '15

Dear all, In some text I am typesetting I noticed that the text following a section was always starting on same page (which is all fine), but in some cases the text preceding the section heading was also finishing on same page, ie the last paragraph before the section heading was broken in previous page, say N lines on previous page and 2 in the page in which the section starts (I have \widowpenalty10000 that’s probably why there are 2 lines in new page), even if there is space in the previous page for the 2 lines (there are even 3 blank lines at the end of the page). Apparently I could solve this “problem”, adding some 0 penalty: \definevspacing[BeforeHeading][penalty:0] \def\BeforeBook{\blank[BeforeHeading, line]} % was \def\BeforeBook{\blank[line]} which seems to avoid breaking page between text before heading and heading itself \setuphead[section][before=\BeforeBook] My question is simply, is that a correct way to fix the problem, or is that just “luck” this fixes the issue ? Thanks a lot, Best regards Joseph Canedo

Luatex 0.85.0 announcement
by luigi scarso 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

New luatex release, 0.85.0 It's really a big change respect to 0.81.0 (see NEWS for a full report) and, well, there can be bugs (that of course we will solve). The archives can be downloaded from supelec as usual: https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/luatex/ You could also check out the sources via anonymous svn: svn co --username anonsvn --password anonsvn \ https://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/luatex/tags/beta-0.85.0 Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org When you use context or latex you need an updated format. The latest version of context can be fetched from the context garden, latex from ctan. For latex you can contact David and Joseph as they are dealing with the update. Have fun, Hans, Taco, Luigi (in this order :-) )

Problems with alignchar and width=broad
by Ben Morrow 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

Hi, [I'm not subscribed to the list, so I would appreciate it if people could keep me in the CC.] Recent versions of ConTeXt seem to have developed a problem with TABLE, where aligncharacter=yes and width=broad won't work together. This document demonstrates: \starttext \bTABLE[width=\textwidth] \setupTABLE[c][1][width=broad] \setupTABLE[c][2][width=fit] \setupTABLE[c][3][width=fit,aligncharacter=yes] \bTR\bTD xxx \eTD\bTD 10 hrs @ 30 \eTD\bTD 300.00 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD[nc=2]\eTD\bTD 300.00 \eTD\eTR %\bTR\bTD\eTD\bTD\eTD\bTD 300.00 \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Like that, with a row with [nc=2], the first two columns are typeset directly on top of each other. If that line is replaced with the commented line underneath it, the overlap goes away, but the table is much wider than it should be and runs off the edge of the page. In both cases, the problem can be removed either by removing the [aligncharacter=yes] or by replacing [width=broad] with [width=fit]. This is with the TeXLive15 version of context, 2015.05.18 12:26. I have also reproduced it with live.contextgarden.net, which I think is the same version. The problem did not occur with the TeXLive14 version, which was 2014.05.21 22:04. Ben

Mailing list maintenance
by Taco Hoekwater 22 Nov '15

22 Nov '15

Hi all, Tomorrow afternoon (Sunday Nov 22) we will move all the ntg mailing lists to a new server. During that move, all ntg.nl email services will be interrupted for a few hours. I will do another post once the move is complete. Besides temporary unavailability, no noticeable changes are expected. Best wishes, Taco (on behalf of the ntg server maintenance team)

compiling with latest stable
by Pablo Rodriguez 22 Nov '15

22 Nov '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][GFS Didot] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext effective flew {\sc Small caps} \stoptext If I compile it with latest beta, everything is fine (as expected). But if I compile it with latest stable (2015.05.18 12:26), I only get a blank page. Could you compile the sample above with latest beta and confirm wheter you get a completely blank page? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

question about the \starteffect[hidden]
by Jeong Dal 22 Nov '15

22 Nov '15

Dear all, I need to hide some part of the text while keep the space for them . I found a very nice command “ \starteffct[hidden]” It works well in most cases. But it couldn’t hide horizontal bars in math mode. Is there a way to hide horizontal bars also? Here is an sample code. Thank you. Dalyoung %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \def\StartHide{\doifmode{nodetails}{\starteffect[hidden]}} \def\StopHide{\doifmode{nodetails}{\stopeffect}} \enablemode[nodetails] \starttext Here is the test file for hiding something. Below, the same sentence is hiding. Here is the test file for hiding something. Below, the same sentence is hiding. \StartHide Here is the test file for hiding something. Below, the same sentence is hiding. Here is the test file for hiding something. Below, the same sentence is hiding. \StopHide But the horizontal bar in the fraction mode still appears. \startformula \frac{12}{1234567} \stopformula Hiding mode \StartHide \startformula \frac{12}{1234567} \stopformula \StopHide \stoptext
